rten. .Tacl:s4*n*R opinion of Gen, Clfneh.
It appears that a certain distinguished military chief
tain of “coon-killing” notoriety, has recently discover
ed that Gen. Clinc h’s military services •ntititle him to
no cmoderation or regard from the people of Georgia,
—that his “military career was nothing,” that “he was
forced into one buttle. and killed fifteen Indiana /”
N'* Me may be allowed to intimate that it savors
somewhat of presumption in a gentleman, whose indi
te'y services have been confined to an equivocal r:m
pu.gn aginst a class of varmints,” yclept ‘Georgia
Coons,’ to venture an opinion in any case where gun
powder hnshecn used, or is likely to be used, the
,nor 'i especially as he is rumored, on one or two occa
sions, to have shown a most striking aversion to the
villainous saltpetre.” Moreover, such nn expression
of opinion by the aforesaid “coon-killer,” was the
more bold, rush, nnd presumptuous from the feet, that
it is flatly contradictory of the opinion once expressed
hv Gen. Jackson upon the same subject, through his
Secretary of \\ nr, Gen. Lewis Cass Now, there was
a time when (den. Jackson had some military reputa
tion in Georgia, anil When the people lmd considerable
confidence in his judgment of military matters. But be
hold, a greater than Jackson has arisen! # llf. rsciiel,
the “coon-k Her,” is now the oracle upon military mat
ters. Under such circumstances we almost despair of
accomplishing any good, even by giving publicity to
the written opinions of “Old Hickory”, in reference to
Gen. Clinch and his services. However, as there are
yet a few old fashioned patriots alive, we will venture
to give the following letter, which shows thnt General
Jai kson thought Old Withlncoochce sufficiently worthy
of his confi l*nee nnd esteem, to tender him the chief
command in the Florida war. Here is the document:
War Department, May lf>, 1836.
Sir —General Clinch has tendered his resignation,
hut the President ts not willing to acc pt it, having con
fidence in his experience and military capacity. You
are at liberty to leave Florida nn 1 resn.tv the command
.i yourdepa. t.nent, whenever you th k you can do so
■vuii a jii.-t regard to public interest. Yniw Utum
over the command to Genera’ C inch. or. if h leaves
the service, to the next officer in rank— irnis'ning such
instructions as you shall think proper.
Very respectfully your obedient servant.
l;;wis cass.
Major-General Sc >tt, St Augustine, Florida.
Gon. Scott’s opinion of • >u. Clinch,
Our military cotrmporary of the Savannah Georgian,
seems recently to be following in the footsteps of the re
doubtable “Coon-killer,” and to he speaking rather dis
paragingly of Gen. Clinch's military reputation. We
now tender him the following letter from Gen. Scott.
We are not astonished that Col. Johnson should not
appreciate the services of Gen. Clinch, ns that gen
tleman belongs essentially to the Pillow school in mil
ily affairs, and : s very apt to place the “ditch on the
wrong side of the parapet hut that Col. Jackson
should make such a mistake, is incomprehensible.—
We admire his boldness, but cannot say as much of his
judgment, when he ventures to place his military opin
ions in the scale against those of his illustrious namesake,
and his scarcely less illustrious recent Commander in
Chief. W\v firmly believe that after reading the follow
ing and after th** heat of party excitement shall have
p ssed, he w ill feel that he has at least done great injus
tice to one who has done good service for his country.
The letter explains itself:
“Knoxville, Tenn . September 6, 1837.
“Dear General: —“Your letter of the 6th ult., has
but just reached me, and I hasten to reply by the first
mail.
“ You ask me to state the length of time that I have
known you, my opinions of your q edifications and ser
vices as a commander, particularly in reference to the
part you bore in the commencement of the present war
with the Seminoles ; whether in the many conversa
tions between us. in Florida, you did not often state
the motives and reasons w’hich would compel you to re
sign at the end of the campaign, in which we were then
engaged, and w’hether those motives and reasons wore
not considered by me tm amply sufficient. You con
clude by saying that you may find it necessary to pub
lish my reply in defence of your character against the
attack oi your enemies.
After an intimate acquaintance with him of more
than twenty-eight years, and the persuasion that you
have never sai l or done an act which could give offence
to an honorable mail, I can hardly bring myself to fe
lieve it necessary to reply to your inquiries, not having
seen either of the attacks to which you allude.
“To th** high character and value of your services,
generally, and particularly in Florida, I have on innu
merable private, and several public and solemn occa
sions borne my humble, but hearty testimony. Thus
in my report to Government, dated ‘Tampa Bay, April
12, 1836,’ I said of you:—‘H*\ throughout the march,
commanded his column with judgment and ability, and
at th*’ principal combat (in the cove.) bravely dismount
ed and followed his troops above the knees (I ought to
have said waist) in mud.’ In the report of May 11th,
I said ‘the resignation of Brigadier General Clinch was
torwarde 1 a week ago. The Army will lose in thisof
fic r one of its l*est commanders ” So in my address
to the Court of Inquiry at Frederick, Maryland, speak
ing of my being ordered to supersede you in the com
mand in Florida, against my private wishes, I told the
Court that, I had moreover the highest confidence in
the judgment and abilities of Gen. Clinch, independ
ent of his better knowledge of Florida and of the ene
my to be combatted. And again, upon the occasion
of reading one of uiy letters, to the same Court, 1 rose
and said. */ am now thoroughly persuaded that the
decision of Gen Clinch (in sending to the block-house ,
an the. lYithlacoochce, succor from Fort Dranc) was
correct, and in Jact, Mr. President, it is extremely
difficult to diffei hi opinion from that officer in the field •
without nf(awards finding reason ta suspect one's
wlf in the wrong and so it happen'd to me in this
‘From tin time wc m -t at F. rt Drain- up to ur *vp*

could not find it in my heart to oppose that determina

sufficient. Accordingly you took the opportunity of
the termination of active duties for the season (early tn
May) and sent your resignation, through me, to the
War Department. / my opinion, yai were then per
fectly at liberty to take that step, both m respect to
honor nnd patriotism, and I have already said that

wounded pride, left you no other course in pursue

eral, I remain youis, “Wim ii i.d Scott.’*
Geu. Clinch in Flondit.
It seem* thnt the unfair, uncandid and merciless as
saults ol the Democratic press upon Gen. Clinch have
aroused the indignation ol the people, mu on!y in Georgia
but the neighboring Stales. It np|M arts that among full
er distinguished cittaens who have felt outrag ‘d at tins
treatment, an able and intelligent citizen of Tallahas
see has seized his pen and thrown off the follow ing ar
ticle which we copy from that excellent Whig paper,
the Florida Sentinel. It is indeed a crying sun mo,
that one who iaso highly appreciated a* Gon Clinch
fe out of the State, should be so sadly maligned and
abused by the very people for whose hmelit the greater
poition of his valuable life has been spent.
” Gin. ( i.ini m —ln the p*n Img contest for Governor
of Georgia I run les* surprized at the remon* Wm party
malice which dogs the heels of tins virtuous and distin
guished man, it tin 1 the apparent ignorance .J his Georgia
tiiendsof interesting incidents in hislge, which, when
known, are well calculated to elevate hmi in thr esti
mation of on enlightened coimiiumty.
“ It scents to Im* ut length known that, toon after the
late war with F.ngland. t <>l. Clinch, with a detach
ment ol Ins r-gin unit, fell upon a lutml of (les)M-rate bri
gHini* and outlaws, nt their rendezvous on tie- Apaluch
ic-dn River, in the Spanish l rovmee ol Florida, killed
two or three hundred and dispersed the band; but it
due* not in ein to be known that the enterprise was at
tended with (Hher perils than the shot of die enemy j
that Gen. Clinch acted under a hint from the War De
partment; that the r spoiisihility he nraunir-d was ot n
ddi-ate and serious nature; that the Fort taken and
dismantled*, bring in the territory of a neutral, public
notic * of the gallant uduevement wasfotbidden by rea
sons of state policy, although highly approved and com
mend* <1 hy Col Moime, who soon after received the
conqueror at hi* ow n r sidence as an invited guest, and
during the time Col Clinch waa domesticated in his
family, treated him with the 1110*4 flattering respect and
kindness, such as his rank would not have entitled him
so, nor his previoua acquaintance with the President.
“ The Athens Banner, and correspondent, “Coacoc
die,’ vWdd Kitten,) in UMuioiiig the fact that thi:t**nds
es Gen. Clinch rest his claims solely on the affair of
W ithlncoochee, ore mistaken.
I hear nothing now a days of a little interlude in the
martial drama of that period, which was always a wel
come topic among the friends of Col. Clinch, of both
exeH, particularly the softer. On his way (probably
for the purpose just mentioned.) from the Rea coaPt of
Georgia to Regimental Head Quartern near the mouth
of Flint River, attended by n small escort, he reached
Ala pa ha, flowing, at that time, through an uninhabit
ed wilderness. The party found the river swollen by
heavy mins and swimming from shore to shore. The 1
affair in hand admitted of no delay or detention ; the
passage of the liver on horse hack was proponed by the
commander, who was the first to encounter the risk of
his own suggeHiion, and his example being followed by
the escort, the transit was effected in safely with one
exception—the last of the party being swept from the
saddle and Ifhrried down the impetuous stream. In this
crisis how did the commander act ? Order the detach
ment to the rescue? No! The lion-hearted young
man impelled by his own generous impulses, leaped in
to the angry current, and buffetting the waves with lus
ty sinews, bore him to his comrades on shore —lt is the
character evinced in this act that so endeared Gen.
Cinch to the common soldier.
“Is it bo soon forgotten, that when the Seminole Indi
ans had surrounded the veteran Gaines and his fine ar
my of young and rut off all retreat, for did !
the tidings never reach him of the “Banner” or his cro
ny “Wild Kitten?”] that Clinch, with an ardor, anen
ergy and judgment almost without a parallel in border
warfare, and as I believe, contrary to the orders of the
commanding General, levied men and supplies, advan
ced by a rapid march to the position of the combatants,
and relieved the command from the tomahawk of the
enemy? If this be forgotten in Athens, Georgia, the
friends of Gen. Clinch are consoled in the assurance
thnt it is remembered by thousands of the sons and
daughters of Louisiana. “ALAPAHA.”
Mr. Towns’ Fiimnciit'. Operations,
1 h* 1 Savannah Ripnhlican of the 14th inst.seya:—
“W ” ca N nttentin to the annexed extract from the pro
ceedings of Congress in IBV Mr. Towns was the op
ponent of the distribution of the surplus, and advo

his interests in cettnin Western Land Speculations.—
When the resolutions below were introduced into the
House ol Representatives, a motion was made to lay
them on the table, in effect to “quash” them, nnd the
motion prevailed by a vote of 98 to 71 —Mr Towns
voting for the motion. What will be said of Mr
Towns’ vote to resist the inquiry proposed? Was he
faithful to his trust in so doing? And why did he op
pose it l Was he fearful of the result of such
enquiry ? We leave our readers to judge.
“Mr. Hunt, from the select committee appointed to
inquire whether any .and what, me mans of Congress,
hen of Department, or other officers of the Govern
ment. had obtained accommodations and facilities
Jrom any bank or banks in obtaining the use of public 1
money for the purposes of speculation in vu! lie lands,
suhfeiited a report, concluding with the Inflowing reso
lutions *—
Resolved, That the select committee appointed by
this House on the 20th June, 1836,be increased to nine,
and that the said committee have power to sit during
the recess of this House.
Resolved, That the said committee embrace, in thetr
inquiries, any connexion between deposite hanks or
others and the land officers, for the purpose of specu
lation.
Resolved, That the said committee inquire how far,
and to whom, for speculation in public lands, the depos
its banks have issued certificates of deposite, without 1
an actual deposite in cash, and to what extent they have i
been received in payment for purchases of public lands 1
at the several land offices.
Resolved, That said committee inquire how far, nnd
to what extent, combinations in the purchase of the
public lands have been formed, or are forming, suffi
ciently strong, from interested motives, to control, to
any extent, the legislative action of Congress.
If Col Towns was perfectly free from all suspicion,
why did he vote against the foregoing resolutions?
The Wi I mot Proviso and the V>emocrary.
The Washington Union fe in something of a contro
versy with the New York Evening Post, in regard to
Mr. Buchanan’s letter, and thus explains its real mean
; ig:
4 It s agreed between the Post nnd us, that Mr. Bu
chanan in .advocating the application of the Missouri
Compromise to the territory which we may acquire from
Mexico, is in favor of prohibiting slavery in all of that
territory which lies north of the line of 36° 30’ north
1 latitude, and of leaving the ichole question of the in
troduction of slavery into the territory south of that
line to the people who may choose to lire in the coun
-1 try”
Now, we would like to know what Southern man,
what Georgian, ism favor of such a compromise as the
above ? Do**9 it not clearly prove that we were correct
last w*ek, in expressing the opinion that Mr. Buchan
lan’sI an’s sole purpose waa to deceive and delude the South*
1 *nd that the Democrats of Georgia were about to com
promise array the rights of our people ? Who would
think for a moment of accepting such a compromise ?
And yet, that is what Mr. Buchanan off*rs, accompa
nied by the declaration, that slavery never can exist m
Calefornia, because of the climate ; nor west of the Rio
Grande, because there the “ negro is not a degraded
race"— in other words, that Tamaulipas is, in plain En
glish, free negro territory /-—and that, therefore slavery
1 cannot he established there under any circumstance*!
Verily. M* Buchanan may well afford to abuse the
letter ot tlie YVihnot Proviso, urtnle he and life friend*
are thus cautious to preserve ii* spirit South* rn I>*m
; oems must be easily satisfied, if they can approve of
such an adjudication of their rights and interests.

Ceneml Taylor’s Tcrsonol Appearance.
Oie of the returned volunteers, who fought under
(general Taylor at Buena Vista, has furnished one of our
exchanges with the following graphic and minute sketch
of the general making-up of the old hero. It fe s> w* and
done that a portrait might be painted from it:
“The hero of Buena Vista, around whose military
brow o many chaplets of fame have been thrown, pre
sents in his personal appearance many of those striking
stamps of nature, which mark the gentleman an 1
officer. Ofan average medium height—being about five
feet and nine inches; he inclines to a heaviness of frame,
and generally well- developed muscular outline, with
some tendency to corpulency ; of square build, he now
inclines to stoop ; and from the great equestrian exer
cise the nature of his fife has led him necessarily to un
dergo, his inferior extremities are somewhat bowed
His expansive chest shows him capable of undergoing
that vast fatigue through which he has passed amid the
hammocks and savannahs of Florida, nnd the still more
recent fields of Mexico. His face is expressive of great
determination ; yet still so softened by the kindlier feel
ings of the wul, as to render the perfect stranger prepos
sessed in his behalf. His head is large, well developed
in the anterior regions, and covered with a moderate
quantity of hair, now tinged by the coloring pencil of
time, which he wears parted on one side, nnd hruhed
down. His eyebrows arc heavy, and extend over the
optic orbit; the eye grey, full of fire, nnd expressive
when his mental powers arc called into play, yet repos
ing as if in pleasant quiet, when in ordinary. His nose
is straight, neither partaking of the true Grecian or Ro
man order; his lips thin, the upper firm, and the lower
slightly projecting The out line of his face is oval, the
skin wrinkled, and deeply embrowned by the many
tropical riiur to which he has been exposed. His man
ners are frank and social; and no one over left his com
pany, without feeling he had been mingling with a gen
tleman of the tme olden times. He at times appears in
deep m ‘dilation, and fe then not always accessible In
iife military discipline lie is firm, and expects ali orders
emanating from his office tube rigidly enforced and ob
served,—treating his mrn not as helots or slaves, but
exercising only that command which fe necessary for
die good of the whole. To the younger officers under
him, he is peculiarly lenient,-—often treating their little
faults more with n father’s forgiveness than with
the judgment of a ruler. In his general toilet he does
not imitate the B**au Brummelsand bandbox dandies
of the present fashionable epoch, but apparels his per
son in illusion with his age. and has no great predilec
tion tor the uniform. In this, however, he is by no
means peculiar, for a majority of our regular military
gentleman seldom appear in their extern"!? on duty :
and the stations to which General T y!or has been as
signed have been in the warm and sunny South, ren
dering the heavy blue cloth undr- s co t dmngrenble to
’ the physical feelings. I have generally seen him in a
pair of grey trowsers, a dark vest, and * ither a brown
or speckled frock coat, reaching lower than would suit
the starched and prim bucks of modem ciivlization. He
wears a long black silk neckerchief, the knot not look
ing as if he had been torturing himself to arrange it be
fore a full length mirror ; he sometimes wears a white
hat, resembling in shape those used by our flatbontinen,
and a pair of common soldier shoes, not much polished.”
Something New about Peace.
Tlie Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun.
writing on the l’dth inst, has the following new revela
tion in regard to the instructions of the Government to
Mr Trist He says:
” Some weeks ago the State Department sent to Mr
Trista new set of instructions, in regard to tile treaty
with Mexico, changing the terms granted to the Mexi
cans. It is well known that Mr. Trist, in his previous
iiistruct-ons, was left without discretionary power
He had the draft of a treaty—the ultimatum ol M-
Ha citatum—with him, winen had to be ace-- ted to, or
the negotiation must fail. Mr. Trist conl-l o ily take
the propositions of the Mexican Government, if not
ag.eemg with Ins own, ad referendum lor his superior
in Washington. His new and last instructions were
forwarded to Vera Cruz, with directions to be sent to
him with all poa.ible despatch, and were captured hy
the guerillas. Os this fact, of course, Mr. Trist is not
informed, nor docs he know that new instructions are
on the way for him. lie will, therefore, stick to the
text of his former instructions; but as these, as I have
good reason to believe, ore much more liberal to the
Mexicans, and as the new instructions urge on him the
necessity of asking and insisting on more, it is highly
‘probable that the Mexicans, knowing the less favorable
disposition of our government towards them, and hav
| ing no means of continuing the war, will use every
means in their power to make peace on the old terms,
before aseeondset of instructions may reach Mr. Trist.”
A Word to the South-Wost.
The people of South-western Georgia who are deep
ly interested in the completion of a Railroad tn Macon
are very properly looking to the next Legislature of the
St-it- for pecuniary assistance They have paid largely
i ofiheir means into the Treasury for the completion of
State R,rail and are now submitting to heavy ta-ies on
account of that great work which has thus far n.-v.-r
hem-fitted them, directly, a single dollar. They are
therefore looking, and they have a right to look, to the
next Legislature for aid in the great work in which they
are now so deeply interested. It becomes th<-m, there
fore, in the pending election, to look well to the poaiti-ui
of the Candidates for Governor. Col Towns is playing
a deep game for a certain vote in Cherokee, and it is now
pretty well ascertained that he has committed himself,
through his friends, against the extension of the State
Road beyond its pr-ser.t terminus. It is even openly
declared hy some of his most active advoenu-s in MuiTy
county,that he will vetoaoif for the rom.
pletion of the work. This, in the event of Col. Towns’
election forever cuts off all hope of procuring any aid
for South western Georgia, because the other great in
terests involved will not mnaent to the granti-.j of any
I assistance unless the State Ro.id isc -mpl-t-d a, a ;rr--
liminary condition. Let that road be eo nplet ed to
the Tennessee River, and the increased income, would
more than pay the interest upon any amount which the
State would invest in the Booth-Weutem Road. Col.
Towns, however, at loasi through his friends, has taken
his position against South-western Georgia In order to
gain a few vote* in the extreme comer ofCherokee. he,
it appears, is willing to sacrifice the moat important in -
tercets of ihe State, the interests of his best friends, and
those who have sustained !i He abandons all consi.l
cratio tac nn rate I withih- tie and her future and per
manent prosperity, and bin Islnmsell to the d-nlinies of
a few foreign aperultor*. who for Belfis'i po poses, are
seeking to check the progress of a great State and Na
tional enterprize. Will the people of the Middle and
South-western counties sustain any candidate whose
view* and feeling* are 10 entirely opposed to th--great
and permanent improvement of the State! Let Mr
Towns he elected, entertaining the views which have
been recently announced as hw, by his friends, and the
progress of Georgia improvements will be clucked for
years to come. The last hope of the South-west will
have been blasted and hor lands which are now begin
ning Income into market at advanced prices will decline
front )to sri per cent in value The mailer at now in
the hands oi th people, and it will lie ,|„.j r own fault if
they allow |>arty (celling lo carry them against their own
true interests and in favor of a candidate who, according
to the statement ul his own frten-la, has already ennaemad
to sacrifice them for his own promotion - Albany

Cotton Crops In Washington County.
The last ( entral Georgian says:—“ We learn from
the farmers residing in different sections of this county
that their prospects are extremely gloomy, for even a
moderate crop of cotton. The army and bowl worm
are destroying the greater portion of the small remain
der left alter a profuse shedding of the bowl. In some
parts of the county the worm has not made its appear
nnc\ but a divase has taken hold upon the bowl which
a equally a* bad if not worse than the worm.”
Aluhnnm Cotton Crop.
Me are indebted to a friend for the following state
ment. It fe contained in a letter dated, Montgomery,
Alabama, Sept. 18th:
The Cotton crop in Alabama, will be much larger
than was anticipated. Although the bolls on th** low* r
branches were lost by the long continued ruin —the
w’et’d looks finely, and is rapidly shewing its white
i clothing. Some of the planters, 1 am informed, are
picking two hundred pounds to i 1 hand p i diera. Ail
concur in thinking that there will be more than half a
crop,and with n tolerably late fall they will aave a good
crop. All now depends on a late frost.
Iron Moiintai • in iV\a,
The Surveyor* who have been engaged in running
th • boundary line of the German colony, have discov
c !;■ mountain near the Conchos river that consists
entirely of iron ore. A portion ol this ore has been
smelted and yielded seventy per cent, of pure iron.—
According to the representation of those wlio have vis
ited this mountain, it rescmhleN the celebrated iron
mountain of Missouri. It is not so large, being only four
or five hundred feet high and probably Haifa mile in cir
cumference. A range of hills extends several miles
north of it, that appear to be c.mq*osed almost entirely
of iron ore. It we can rely on the statements of the
i hunters and surveyois who h ive visited that section,
ihe iron mines that have been discovered there arc in
exhaustible.—X O. limes.
